Haven't invested much other than domain names and hosting for 2 sites. Running ppc on yahoo and google using promo bucks if you will so nothing out of my pocket yet....After 20+ clicks zilch sales so it's very discouraging to say the least....Thanks for the motivation, i will go back to the drawing board...

If it's converting at 1-1 then tweaking your bids & landing page can give you that 2-1 boost you need to make it profitable. How targeted are the keywords, are you using broad matching? Going for more targeted traffic on 10 campaigns instead of lots of broad traffic on 1 will give you better & more varied results.

I hear the conferences are good places to meet people, but that is a serious cost for someone just starting. I’d say my biggest issue is making lasting friendships online.

This is the kind of post I’ve been looking for. It’s like written for me. "One thing I see all too often is people start out by building websites on “how to make money.”" I kinda fell in to that too… Right now I don’t know if I should stop doing all that and use the time in starting out with something else. Thanks. This is the kind of post I’ve been looking for. It’s like written for me.

I ran an adwords campaign, 1 ad, several keywords, had the link go directly to the affiliate sales page (no presell). Don't know if it was the keywords, the sales page, or the product, but after two weeks and a couple dozen clicks, 0 purchases. I'm looking to start again, but am really having a time finding a good product to sell, and even then I worry that I really won't know how to select targeted keywords or a good enough ad to get the attention of buyers. Yeah, I know, it't not really a question :P I’m for sure at Point A. I ran an adwords campaign, 1 ad, several keywords, had the link go directly to the affiliate sales page (no presell).

Maybe I could just add a few affiliate links to my Dating site and not tell anyone. ;-) I just wanted to add that you don't want to become too attached to any one Niche. They are like clothes in some respect, they can be profitable ("In") one month and not the next. Be ready to get out when the money's not there anymore and move on to the next best thing (unless you are building a branded site, that is, then you can diversify within the site).
